Duane Peters has a movie about his bad self...... Check out the trailer to the upcoming DVD release of "Who Cares...The Duane Peters Story" which is due out by the end of this summer. DUANE PETERS is a skateboarder with serious cred. He's generally acknowledged as the guy who consumated the union of punk rock and skateboarding, taking it from a la-la cruise by nerdy longhairs whose music of choice was the Eagles into the full-blown tough guy hardcore punk scene it is today. Here is a cool tribute to his skateboarding ability here. Check out some way cool downloads of The Hunns here.
But skating is just part of the fun for Duane, his other avocation is punk rock; and he's pretty good at that too. Duane is the leader of the infamous U.S. BOMBS, and since 2000 he has started fronting The HUNNS. The HUNNS sound is raw, chainsaw, based on a classic formula : two Les Pauls, drums and bass. Duane, of course, sounds like Duane, but that's the main similarity with the Bombs : the HUNNS delivery is much more street American rock'n'roll. Now with the addition of ex-Nashville Pussy COREY PARKS on bass, The HUNNS have become one of the best punk band playing anywhere in the world today.
The U.S. Bombs re-release of "PutStrength in the Final Blow" which was originally released in 94' as a vinyl only album, now on CD with all tracks remixed by Duane and now features 4 tracks from the double 7inch of which only 500 copies were originally pressed. The whole thing has been remastered and includes liner notes from Duane himself. Go here to read more and download Bubble Gum from the "Put Strength in the Final Blow" CD.
